The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 436 calories for 1 sandwich at 180 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 242 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 21.6 g protein, 1.8 g fiber, and 1,456 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is ham or pork salad, representing 66.7% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 2 source-input rows in all. These are provenance for a standardized calculation, not a recipe for your plate.
The source calls its underlying survey portion “Quantity not specified,” but it separately lists 1 sandwich at the identical weight. We use the familiar household label here without changing the source calculation.
Record-specific decision brief
What the numbers say—and what choice still belongs to you
This analysis belongs to USDA FDC 2706971: “Ham salad sandwich on white.” It separates gram-weight arithmetic, corpus context, label signals, and record selection so one number does not have to answer four different questions.
01 · Portion arithmetic
Three weights, one fixed composition
For FDC 2706971, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “75% of the reference weight” through “125% of the reference weight” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 75% of the reference weightArithmetic scenario from the reference weight | 135 g | 327 kcal | 16.2 g | 1.4 g | 1,092 mg |
| 1 sandwich, any sizeUSDA-listed household measure | 180 g | 436 kcal | 21.6 g | 1.8 g | 1,456 mg |
| 125% of the reference weightArithmetic scenario from the reference weight | 225 g | 545 kcal | 27 g | 2.3 g | 1,820 mg |

The formulation rows differ, but the source data do not isolate which component caused any nutrient difference. Input weights describe the standardized formulation—not final plated proportions.
Shared listed inputs: Bread, white, commercially prepared.
Listed only in this record: Ham or pork salad.
Listed only in the comparison: Ham, sliced, pre-packaged, deli meat (96%fat free, water added).
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets differ
This record’s reference amount is 180 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 sandwich (180 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 115 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 regular (115 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2706971 with FDC 2706964 at equal mass; use their 180 g and 115 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2706971 versus FDC 2706964 is a comparison of standardized source records—not a measurement of your meal, an overall food-quality rank, or proof that one input caused a difference.

Uncertainty, made actionable
What can change this estimate?
This is a standardized USDA survey-food profile, not a measurement of every preparation. Actual nutrition can change with item size, bread or wrapper size, fillings, sauces and cheese.
For “Ham salad sandwich on white,” resolve item size first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.
- 01
item size
When composition is held constant, nutrient totals scale directly with grams. A 20% weight correction produces the same 20% correction to the scaled totals.
- 02
bread or wrapper size
Resolve bread or wrapper size only when the meal or its source gives you evidence. If it is unknown, leave the uncertainty visible instead of choosing the most convenient variant.
- 03
fillings
Check whether the exact source description already includes it. If not, keep the addition separate rather than silently folding it into the base record.
- 04
sauces and cheese
Check whether the exact source description already includes it. If not, keep the addition separate rather than silently folding it into the base record.
How we estimated this
The arithmetic is simple; the provenance is the point
FDC 2706971 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 242 kcal per 100 g becomes 436 kcal at 180 g through nutrient per portion = nutrient per 100 g × portion grams ÷ 100; this page adds no second nutrition estimate.
About the serving label: USDA describes the underlying survey portion as “Quantity not specified.” The separately listed 1 sandwich has the same gram weight, so the familiar label can be shown without changing the calculation.
Data cycle: 2021–2023, published October 31, 2024
FoodData Central ID: 2706971
FNDDS food code: 27520340
The scaling for FDC 2706971 can be exact while the match to “Ham salad sandwich on white” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 180 g weight, 2-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
